Royalty Free African Music

If Africa is the cradle of humanity, African music is the cradle of all modern music, with a compelling, incessant beat, and an earthy energy. Pop, rock, soul, R&B, gospel, rap, and hip hop all trace their roots to the primitive soul of the African home.

We especially groove with Descent, a brooding, incessant journey to match your most dramatic island footage. Australian wind instrument, didgeridoo, travels to Africa for this one and adds a surprisingly light note, almost humorous, given its immense size and bass tone.

Get more beat for your bucks with Edge 5: Drums/Rhythms/Pulse. Thirty-two tracks of pulse-pounding percussive soundscapes take your “Afrika” ventures to new places. Driving, thunderous rhythms are perfect for Action-Drama, Home Videos and Travel pieces.

From the Oldest World to the New, tuning in to the rhythmic background of African music is like tapping into your soul. Our hearts beat to the ancient tempo, our toes tap irresistibly, and our smiles soar with the sheer, primitive joy of being alive!
